How will the BREP impact the rural water supply?
Coliban Water operates the Wilson’s Hill rural supply channel, which services about 1,300 rural customers, most of whom rely on open channels for supply. Rights of existing rural customers to access water will be protected and any changes to supply will only occur with appropriate agreements in place.
Outside the planning process, matters such as piping, decommissioning, or substitute supply will need to be resolved directly through negotiations between developers, Coliban Water, and existing customers, with consideration of long-term servicing strategies.
